I would clients to know that I strive to provide education, support and cheer leading for my clients, and that I deliver therapy to each person with gratitude and respect. I have a Master of Arts degree in Rehabilitation Counseling, which helped me to develop an approach by identifying strengths and resources, helping to create realistic goals and making necessary changes. I have been practicing for 31 years and I know that I will never know everything.

I have a heart for maternal mental health and reproductive mental health. This can include Infertility, pregnancy and post partum mood disorders, perinatal hospice, surrogacy screenings, pregnancy and infant loss, teen pregnancy, crisis pregnancy, abortion, menopause. We have a maternal mental health crisis in our country and I hope to help alleviate that.

I am also passionate about supporting bariatric patients in their weight loss journey. I am the proud owner of a gastric sleeve. I lost 150 pounds ten years ago and am keeping it off.

Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


My path to becoming a therapist has been anything but traditional. I earned my bachelor's degree in Fashion Design from Kent State University before discovering my passion for helping others, which led me to earn a master's degree in School Counseling from Long Island University in Brooklyn, New York.

For nearly 10 years, I have worked as an in-school counselor at a public high school, supporting adolescents through life's challenges with compassion and understanding. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety and depression, helping clients build practical coping skills, increase self-confidence, and navigate difficult moments with resilience.

My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with extensive experience supporting adolescents, adults, and older adults through life’s most challenging transitions. My background spans mental health therapy, crisis intervention, trauma recovery, child welfare, and geriatric care, which allows me to work with clients from a holistic, compassionate, and well-rounded perspective.

I use a strength-based, trauma-informed, and person-centered approach, meeting each client where they are and honoring their unique experiences. My clinical work integrates evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), DBT-informed skills, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness-based practices. I work collaboratively with clients to set meaningful goals, build coping skills, and create sustainable change.

I have experience helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress, emotional regulation, self-esteem, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I also bring a strong background in crisis support and safety planning, ensuring clients feel supported, grounded, and safe throughout the therapeutic process.

Above all, I strive to provide a warm, non-judgmental, and culturally responsive space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered.

Therapist

Hi there, I'm Darcie! I'm a licensed professional counselor at New Beginnings Virtual Counseling LLC specializing in trauma and PTSD management. I've provided care for over 11 years supporting, teens and adults through grief, substance use, Autism, anxiety, trauma, depression, anger and stress management, and depression.

Through personal grief, I understand that loss is not something you just get over. It changes you. Healing begins with support, time, and space to actively grieve and nurture your wellbeing.

I understand how complicated life can become where one day we stop, look around, and think what happened, how did I get here. Together we can untangle those knots.
